In my current position... people taking their break and visiting with those in the cubbies around me. They don't keep their voices down too much, but then we're really a very open cuby-ville so unless they sat on top of each other and whispered, you'd be able to hear them from the cuby next door or across the small walk-way. It's not like you can hear them from 2-3 cubbies away. But they do get distracting, especially when it's mind-numbing work like I was doing today... almost any noise your brain picks up on as a distraction and a way of keeping it from going comotose.
Any other time...people stopping next to my desk or outside my door (which they partially open) and have a personal conversation. Thankfully those days are gone. LOL
